Description
Note: first observed by @megsfulton in https://github.com/Automattic/stories-android/issues/398, moving here.
What happens:
- Open media picker, select multiple pieces of media
- Tap on the center of the video media
- Observe it opens a fullscreen video playback mode
What I'd expect:
I don't expect to trigger the video playback when selecting the video media. I'd expect to trigger the fullscreen playback on a long press which is how to preview photo media.
Tested on various (Pixel, PIxel 3 XL, Pixel 2, Samsung J2)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the media picker by selecting multiple media items and tapping the center of a video. Compare that behavior with photo preview, where fullscreen playback is expected on long press; done means a normal video selection no longer opens fullscreen playback while long press still previews it.
